Good show, bad show, still a show. Fed up with all of it yet?

No wonder his colleagues looked..flabergasted. Too much guys hugging each other, and beso beso with the ladies.

Teka..Parang.. hmm..

Adios... pal. Now can we go home - Leon Guerrero

Even SP JPE extending his hand to get rid of the business was horrified of this.. thing approaching at speed both hands ready to hug...

Oh..ok.. that will be fine Ok tama na its getting uncomfortable and "awkward", and I have to turn somthing negative into a positive... by.. gulp... louding your actions today so you go away quietly after that - SP JPE

We all know about the up comming SET decision. Has this changed Migz? Really? I guess evryone deserves a second chance.
